SUMMARY:Michigan Warrior Wednesday - John Collier\, Speaker
DESCRIPTION:Our original October speaker is no longer able to join us\, but we are grateful that John Collier has stepped in to share his story at our upcoming Warrior Wednesday. \nAnd what a story it is. \nFROM BEHIND THE BADGE TO BEHIND BARS TO FREEDOM IN CHRIST! \nJohn was born in Grand Rapids and went on to become a decorated Indiana State Trooper. During his law enforcement career\, he received numerous awards and commendations and was eventually assigned to the Governor’s detail. \nBut only a few years later\, John’s life looked completely different. \nA self-destructive journey led to the loss of his career\, his freedom\, and ultimately ten years inside Michigan prisons. \nIt was there\, in prison\, that John encountered the grace of Jesus Christ. \nJail Chaplain Robert “Bob” Hall led John to Christ\, and Bob and his wife\, Jamie\, would go on to mentor John for nearly a decade. Their relationship became so close that Bob and Jamie had the honor of marrying John and his wife\, Lorie\, in 2000. \nJohn’s story didn’t end when the prison doors opened. \nAfter his release\, he wrote Inside Out: A Father’s Love\, sharing honestly about childhood trauma\, his fall as a police officer\, the consequences of his choices\, and the saving grace of God that changed the direction of his life. \nHe also founded Fathers Love Ministry\, helping others find Christ-centered healing and hope. And in a beautiful picture of redemption\, John has returned again and again to the incarcerated\, sharing with others the same hope of Jesus that reached him while he was behind those walls. \nHis testimony has also been shared through Joyce Meyer Ministries and The 700 Club. \nThis is a story of consequences. A story of grace. And a story that reminds us that no life is beyond the reach of Jesus. \n“So if the Son sets you free\, you will be free indeed.” — John 8:36 \nCome hear John’s testimony at Warrior Wednesday and be reminded that our past doesn’t get the final word. Jesus does. \nWarrior Wednesday is FREE and open to active-duty military\, veterans\, first responders\, their spouses\, and all friends and supporters of Warriors Set Free. \nCome expectant. Come encouraged. And come hear firsthand that Jesus is still in the business of rescuing\, restoring\, and setting captives free.
